Twenty phony products were submitted to the EPA for evaluation under the government’s Energy Star program. The EPA evaluated 16 of those products while the while the Department of Energy (DOE) evaluated four. Fifteen of the phony products were certified by EPA/DOE under the Energy Star program. Most of the fake products, had they been real, would have qualified consumers for federal and/or state tax credits and rebates. Tax credits can range up to $1,500 on products such as home insulation, windows, doors, and furnaces. “The point is that the consumer assumes that that Energy Star label means someone’s validated the manufacturers’ claims, and it is clearly shown here that is not the case in most of these instances.” www.cnsnews.com/news/article/63638

Sounds like an arm of the FDA.
